Carter to Obama: Picking Hillary as VP 'Would be the Worst Mistake that Could be Made'

clipped from www.guardian.co.uk

Barack Obama should not pick Hillary Clinton as his vice-presidential nominee, former president Jimmy Carter has told the Guardian.

"I think it would be the worst mistake that could be made," said Carter. "That would just accumulate the negative aspects of both candidates."

Carter, who formally endorsed the Illinois senator last night, cited opinion polls showing 50% of US voters with a negative view of Clinton.

Can't say I disagree much. Earlier today, I said that Hillary had set herself up as the 'establishment candidate' and choosing her would hurt Obama's 'change cred.'
